Cuala Lómpura does not have a long history. It was founded in 1857 during the period of British rule in Malaya Malaysia. As early as 1880, Kuala Lumiere became the capital of Celaylor, a former principality and then the state of Malaya Malaysia. The city remained in that status in 1978. By that time, Coahala-Lumiere had succeeded as the administrative center of the Malayan Union (1946-48) and the Federation of Malaya (1949-57). Since 1957, the city has been declared the capital of independent Malaysia. It is now a federal city.

Its ethnic and religious diversity has had an impact on the citys character, which has absorbed the cultures of its peoples. The architecture of the capitals architecture is characterized by a variety of styles.

The Sultan Abadul-Samad House (1897), used by the Supreme Court of Malaysia, The Railway Station and the Railway Administration Building in Malaysia are non-Malaysian in style and are a striking example of Moholian architectural architecture. The European style of architecture is represented by St. Marys Cathedral, St. Georges Church, the Chapel of St. George, the Chapel Tower, several administrative buildings, and a Christian church. The Islamic influence is also present in the Yassan El-Boukhariri Church and the National Church. The traditional Malay style (National Museum, Palace of Culture, and National Library) and the Indian motifs are prominent.
